One of the most traditional firms in the automobile sector is Aston Martin. Its foundation took place in 1913, so today it has a 106 year history. In this time, she has lived sweet and bitter moments, going through incredible vicissitudes. However, it was not until the XNUMXst century that they found the way to attract the customer they are looking for. Even so, getting to this point has not been easy, as they have needed a lot of help.
Specifically of the Daimler AG group, owner of your AMG industry partner. The sports arm of Mercedes-Benz has helped them develop some of the technology that their latest models sport. In addition, the DB11 or Vantage have a new heart that, otherwise, they would never have been able to develop. Now comes the Aston Martin DBX, the first all-road in its history and the one that should provide them with great satisfaction.
The Aston Martin DBX combines muscular and elegant lines
On an aesthetic level, the Aston Martin DBX does not disappoint: is an Aston with all the letters. Its front has three differentiating elements. First of all, there are the Full LED optical groups with a design that, even though it is newly minted, is reminiscent of its range brethren. Second, the large front grill that identifies the models of the firm. Lastly, a hood with muscular lines and contained height to be an SUV.
La side view It is beautiful, with the handles to open the hidden doors. The power lines They hug the wheel arches, the lower area of the doors and the hip. Thanks to them, the sheet-glass ratio is not out of place, even being unfavorable to the second. Lastly, highlight the roof drop, because although it looks for a coupé air, it is not accused as in other rivals. Finally, mention elegant alloy wheels generous in size.
Next we go to the behind the DBX. The rear window is small and is crowned by a large spoiler. This gives way to a wide and muscular hip from which some very fine optical groups that meet in the center. This area has a integrated spoiler, although it looks more like a duck's tail. Beneath it, the tailgate makes its way, sporting the Aston logo in the center. Finally, there is the diffuser with two integrated exhaust outlets.
Technological and quality interior, worthy of an Arab sheikh
If the exterior of the Aston Martin DBX is beautiful, inside they have bet on a winning horse. In it we find elegant and well thought lines. It stands out for integrating in the console a touch screen of 10,25 inches that flees from the fashion followed by its rivals. In addition, the information is supplemented with information from the digital cockpit 12,5-inch drive behind the steering wheel. All this, accompanied by a measured number of controls.
Another of the differential points of the DBX is the profusion of leather premium. Practically the entire interior, and seats, is lined with this material, giving it an outstanding presence. For downplay the whole, they have correctly placed aluminum finished inserts brushed. In addition, and unlike other rivals, such as the Audi Q8, it goes from the hackneyed "piano black", hitting the mark.
Finally, we must mention his habitability and trunk capacity. The English firm has not confirmed its dimensions, but the five occupants should travel with enough slack. The load capacity will not be a problem either, since you can enjoy 632 liters in its standard configuration. Thanks to the folding seats in a 40:20:40 ratio, the figure increases to a remarkable 1.540 litres.
Rabid mechanics and sports performance
On a mechanical level, the Aston Martin DBX shares a heart with its range brothers. Specifically, it is the petrol block 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 Developed by AMG. However, its performance has been optimized, since it develops a power of 550 hp and 700 Nm of maximum torque. For its management, it relies on an automatic transmission, by torque converter, with nine relationships that sends the power of the engine to all four wheels.
Furthermore, the all wheel drive system It features an active center differential and a rear electronic limited-slip differential (eDiff). Thanks to this powertrain, despite reaching 2.245 kilos, brag about sports performance. Thus, it signs a 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4,5 seconds and a top speed (without limitation) of 291 kilometers per hour.
When does the Aston Martin DBX hit the market?
La Marketing of the Aston Martin DBX it is imminent. The first 500 customers will be able to enjoy the “1913 Package”, a name that coincides with the year the firm was founded. As differentials, they will have identification plates on the fenders or a plate that details their manufacturing process. In addition, Andy Palmer will inspect each of the units and the CEO of the brand, Marek Reichman will sign an exclusive book.
It includes a Waldorf Astoria Regional Celebration Cocktail Invitation hosted by a member of the Aston Martin Lagonda executive team. And all this for how much money? Well, in the United Kingdom it starts at 158 thousand Pounds Sterling and in Germany at $193.500. If you want one, run, because the first units will reach their owners in the second quarter of 2020 and surely there is already a waiting list.
